Maryland First Congressional Candidate Andy Harris picked up a major endorsement Tuesday morning in Salisbury. He is being backed by the National Federation of Independent Businesses and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

NFIB officials say Harris understands the needs of small businesses. Harris says those small businesses are the foundation of the American economy.

Congratulations, Dr. Harris! The combination of a Governor Martin O’Malley and a President Barack Obama would be a disaster for small business owners across the Eastern Shore.
